Göhre, Museum and historic site in Jena, Germany.
Göhre sits on the north side of Jena's historic market square with neo-Gothic architectural features and several exhibition areas inside. The rooms show changing displays about city history, historical views, model buildings, and artwork spanning from medieval times to today.
The building's foundation walls date to the 13th century. Paul Göhre, born in 1870, bought the house in 1893 and gave it his name. In 1907 he replaced the Marktmühle on Saalstraße with a stately neo-Gothic house with a passage to the market, where he ran a wine trade and wine restaurant until at least 1917. The city museum, founded in 1901, moved into the Göhre on the market square in 1988.
The building is named after Paul Göhre, a wine merchant who bought it in 1893 and ran a wine trade and wine restaurant there until at least 1917. Today the stairwell's timeline leads through four exhibition levels covering Jena's history from prehistory to 1850, and the adjoining Neue Göhre houses the Kunstsammlung Jena.
The exhibition spreads across several floors, with a staircase running through the entire structure arranged chronologically. Plan time to climb through, as the stairs can be steep and each level presents different time periods.
The Jena "Wartburgfahne" of 1816 is a flag on which the German national colours black, red and gold appear together for the first time. It belonged to the Urburschenschaft, the first German student corporation, founded in Jena; the museum also keeps its statutes.
